[QUOTE="slammedincouch, post: 8222968, member: 620452"] [SIZE=18px][B]AD: NEW Audioz/Current Build As of 1/21/14[/B][/SIZE] Audio Update: So still haven't had the M3 8s fixed, which means... [IMG]http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w283/slammedincouch/01%20Ford%20Explorer%20Build/20131027_173100_zps0a7n7mrv.jpg[/IMG] Lvl 5 went back in. Also decided I really wasn't feeling the CS 6.5s. I was having some major issues with alt whine because I didn't have a nice single speaker wire that could be ran into a passive crossover that would splice the frequencies for the woofer and the tweet (aka one +/- line in to wf +/- and tw +/-) and as you know about the previous run in with the doors, I couldn't fit another run of it in. So I had to basically cut into the factory speaker wire between the door and the HU to get the tweets amped. Any-who, it ****** and I couldn't stand the amount of feedback I was getting from the way I had things. Decided to get these: [IMG]http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w283/slammedincouch/Mobile%20Uploads/2013-10/20131016_163903_zpsrv4zbwty.jpg[/IMG] They're **** [IMG]http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w283/slammedincouch/01%20Ford%20Explorer%20Build/20131016_192525_zpsrxebycbi.jpg[/IMG] I also got some more power for them too...
